The visit to the airstrip gave the crew a welcome break and added interest to ...

New mudguards for M type

What is the consensus of opinion for how much a set of mudguards for a M type would cost to have manufactured?

Re: VMR Summer Rally 2013

I have no reason to doubt what he claims and what has told me all would point to this being the case. The old chap is of course no longer with us. Does anyone know a bit more about the design and...

M Type on E Bay

In the words of Victor Meldrew " I don't believe it" £12550 for the MG M type that sold on E bay on Sunday! I hope the new owner is satisfied. It seems an awful lot of money for what it is.
